Several years ago, I begged my hubby to see Mickey’s PhilarMagic on our Disney vacation. He hesitated, as he wasn’t keen on watching a show, he is generally more of a ride person. Finally though, near the end of our Magic Kingdom adventures, he finally gave in.  And as a HUGE Donald Duck fan, boy was he surprised – I didn’t give anything away about Donald beforehand!

Exploring Disney: Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom

I had heard and seen little bits and pieces of information regarding the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom but had never looked into it further because it wasn’t something that was particularly interesting to me. That all changed when my 7 and 9 year old sons became very interested in various card collecting and trading card game endeavors.  For our upcoming trip, my husband suggested we looked into the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom “game” so I began doing my research.

Exploring Disney: Building a Droid at Star Wars – Galaxy’s Edge

There was a lot I wanted to see and do on our recent visit to Walt Disney World and much of it had to do with Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Super cool rides, character interactions, amazing details (Disney Imagineers, you all are totally incredible!), fun shops, and interesting (and delicious) food and drinks – all of this can be found at the Black Spire Outpost on the planet of Batuu (which is the actual name of the Galaxy’s Edge area). But along with all of this, there are two truly interactive experiences there that, while not free, are really cool experiences. In one of them, Guests can create their own lightsaber. While that sounded interesting, it was the other one that really caught my eye, and was the one that I signed up to do. And as it turned out, it was literally one of the most fun things I’ve done at Walt Disney World in all the years I’ve gone. And that’s saying a lot. Read more
